MST Configuration Identification

The following windows in the MST Configuration Identification section allow the user to configure a MSTI instance
on the Switch. These settings will uniquely identify a multiple spanning tree instance set on the Switch. The Switch
initially possesses one CIST or Common Internal Spanning Tree of which the user may modify the parameters for but
cannot change the MSTI ID for, and cannot be deleted.
To view this window, click L2 Features > Spanning Tree > MST Configuration Identification, as shown below:
The window above contains the following information:

Description
A previously configured name set on the Switch to uniquely identify the MSTI (Multiple
Spanning Tree Instance). If a configuration name is not set, this field will show the MAC
address to the device running MSTP. This field can be set in the STP Bridge Global Set-
tings window.
This value, along with the Configuration Name will identify the MSTP region configured on
the Switch. The user may choose a value between 0 and 65535 with a default setting of 0.
This field shows the MSTI IDs currently set on the Switch. This field will always have the
CIST MSTI, which may be configured but not deleted. Clicking the hyperlinked name will
open a new window for configuring parameters associated with that particular MSTI.
This field allows the user to choose a desired method for altering the MSTI settings. The
user has two choices.
Add VID – Select this parameter to add VIDs to the MSTI ID, in conjunction with the VID List
parameter.
Remove VID – Select this parameter to remove VIDs from the MSTI ID, in conjunction with
the VID List parameter.
This field displays the VLAN IDs associated with the specific MSTI.
